Tesla has updated the estimated delivery time for the Model Y in the U.S. market. Orders placed now for the Model Y are expected to be delivered in 7-11 weeks, compared to the previous estimate of 2-5 weeks. Brand Introduction: Tesla is an American electric vehicle and energy company that manufactures and sells electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy storage devices. Headquartered in Palo Alto, it was founded on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. The founders named the company "Tesla Motors" in honor of the physicist Nikola Tesla. Brand Development: Tesla's first car product, the Roadster, was launched in 2008 as a two-door sports car. In 2012, Tesla released its second car product—the Model S, a four-door all-electric luxury sports sedan. The third car product was the Model X, a luxury all-electric SUV, which began deliveries in September 2015.
I just picked up my Model Y, and it took three days from the system showing 'preparing for delivery' to actually getting the car. My car was in Shenzhen, and the delivery center said this status means the car has arrived at the store and is undergoing final inspections and cleaning. Generally, in big cities like Shenzhen or Shanghai where there is inventory, delivery is faster, averaging 2-5 days. However, if it falls on a weekend or public holiday, you might have to wait an extra day or two. The delivery center will notify you via SMS with the specific pickup time, so it's advisable to confirm your documents in advance, such as bringing your ID and payment proof. If you're in a remote area, the transportation time could extend to over a week. Overall, Tesla has sped up its delivery process now, so just be patient.
I've studied Tesla's delivery process, and after the status shows 'Ready for Delivery,' most owners report being able to pick up their vehicles within 3-7 days. At this stage, the vehicle has passed quality inspection, with the main delays occurring during document verification and appointment scheduling. My friend in Guangzhou waited two days, while another in a smaller city waited six days due to the need for vehicle transportation from the regional hub. Several factors influence this: first, regional inventory levels—larger cities are faster; second, if there are issues with documents, such as insurance not being activated on time, delivery will be delayed. I recommend checking the app or contacting the delivery specialist during this period, as they usually provide time estimates. Keep your phone accessible to avoid missing notifications.
